What Should You Do After a Car Accident in Albuquerque, NM?

After a crash in Albuquerque, the steps you take in the immediate aftermath can affect both your health and any potential legal claim. Prompt medical attention is important even when injuries appear minor at first. New Mexico law also requires drivers involved in a crash resulting in injury to remain at the scene and exchange information with the other party.

People hurt in vehicle accidents commonly experience neck and shoulder injuries, broken ribs, hip pain, and, in more serious cases, head or spinal trauma. Even a collision described as minor can produce injuries that worsen significantly over the following days.

New Mexico follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning that compensation may still be available even if you were partially at fault for the crash. An Albuquerque car accident attorney can help evaluate the circumstances, gather available evidence, and clarify what options may exist for recovering medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. 

Insurance companies often begin to evaluate claims quickly after a crash, and sometimes reach out to those involved before they have had a chance to fully assess their injuries or speak with an attorney. Accepting an early settlement offer without legal guidance can result in receiving less compensation than may actually be available.
